Synopsis
This book is a definitive analysis of the complex relationship between the shape of an object and its functioning within a physical device, known as its kinematic function. The author, an expert in the field of robotics and computer science, presents a comprehensive framework for understanding this relationship, combining insights from physics, geometry, and qualitative reasoning. The book draws on historical and contemporary examples to illustrate the evolution of this field and the significance of shape in mechanical innovations. The author explores the challenges of automating reasoning about physical objects, and provides a novel approach to overcoming these challenges, enabling us to design and analyze complex mechanisms more effectively. Through its in-depth exploration of shape and kinematic function, this book offers valuable insights for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the intricate interplay between the physical world and human ingenuity.
